Episode 25: A GAME OF THRONES, EDDARD V: ”The Seed is Strong”

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!

Today, Emmett and Jeff tackle AGOT, Eddard V in which Ned soft-interrogates Grand Maester Pycelle, has a great moment with Arya and gets a lesson in paranoia from Littlefinger

This week, we:

- Answer a question about whether GRRM not taking an active role in the show led to lower quality seasons.

- Throw numerous shade at Pycelle (who deserves every bit of it)

- Analyze Ned Stark as our neo-noir medieval detective

- Pontificate on the heat and "sweet milk" and what they symbolize

- Pycelle's role in Jon Arryn's death

- Varys killing Pycelle foreshadowing

- How GRRM tells a mystory story

 

Next week: AGOT, Jon IV!
